Going forward, the Company will, in line with its business development and talent needs, further explore cooperation models such as campus recruitment, internships and practical training, professional training, and joint talent cultivation, and encourage more outstanding young talent to enter the oil and gas industry, gain exposure to oilfield operations, and improve their professional skills.
